A Voice From The North.
Wo beg pardon of our readers (says the
Banner of the South) for presetting them
with the following letter, it is filled with
-such abominable sentinienls ; it breathes such
tierce hatred against the South ; it puts forth
such remarkable doctiines-and all in the
name of religion-that we thought it useful,
;is a sign of the times, as a straw, showing
thc drift of the current, to give it to our
readers. It will show how some men hale
us, and regard that hatred as a religious duty : I
it Win-snow'?cr?v~ mr ?omu- womer urucecirf
against us : it will illustrate how free and un
shackled is the Press of the North. Wc be
lieve that this letter embodies the sentiments
of a great many of the N^ylh. One bold
man expi esses, through it, what thousands,
feel. We ask of all our readers to peruse it
from the beginning to the cud. We have no
comment to make. Here is the remarkable
letter :
SPIRIT OF THE RADICAL RELIGIOUS PRESS AND
PULPIT-A MOST REMARKABLE LETTER.
CHICAGO, III., November 12, lSo7-To
Ike Editor of the Knoxville Free Press :-,k I
have noticed lately several (editorial)-aliu
sions iu your paper to what appears to be a
matter of feeling iinong the people of East
Tennessee in itgard to Methodist Church
property, and lo yours of the 5th instant, uu
der the head of'Loyal Church.' an article
signed ' Lover of Peace/ ott thesame subject.
From all 1 have seen and heard on this sub
ject in the last three years, 1 conclude that all
the supposed trouble in church property
among "East Tennesseans has grown out of
the action of Bishop Simpson in church mat
ters in that State ; and supposing I am right
in this, I'beg leave to say a few words in de
fence of Bishop Simpson, on the ba?is of gen
eral principle. It is evident, to my mind,
that the gulf which separates the Southern
Methodist from the Northern Methodist is
much deeper and wider than inauy suppose.
So great, indeed, that it were fully to attempt
to bridge it, or for the two classes ever to
meet. I, of course, belong to the Northern
Methodist class, and feel and speak iu their
behalf, and, in doing so, I shall exercise that
frankness and candor of expression on the
Methodist affairs that Wendell Phillips is
wont to do on political aifairs.
" In the first place, the Methodists, both
North and South, need ' watering5 very much
'O bring them up to the true standard ol cour
ige and honesty necessary to assert plainly
their true characters. Helikon and politics are
in fact, one and the same thing, and must bc
so considered (in all popular governments es
peciallv.) in fact, religion and polities have
always been considered one and the same ir
a!l nation-. Oars was the first and only exper
talent, wc know of, to treat the two as dis
tinct elements in civil government, and w<
;irc fully justified in asserting that the expe
rin ent hus been a failt?re : or, nt least, tin
experiment has had the smic conflict tba
bas always before resulted from opposing ii-'eai
All government* is based on the religion
sharftcer of these who form and carry it on
and wheu there becomes a conflict of view
in its administration, it arises, of necessity
from religious differences. It is the 'religi
.jua mind' which makes and executes th
laws, and shapes, in every feature, the legit
iation of a government. This is a fact whic
needs no ajournent to prove it : because th
ppp'jsile cf ?the assertion cannot be fonnd t
exist in any . nation on e trth. The Unit*
States forms no exception, though in ot
.system' we attempted it for eighty yean
Still the religions power of the human rain
would at last prevail over all tue other eli
menta of the government. Now. thc stroDgi
prevailed and took possession of all thi?pro?
iirtv and appliances appertaining l>?> thcorgai
?zation of tho weaker. Thc word Mothodi
it is true, is applied to the two classes of pc
pie North and'South, yet ore is like that
the Iliutloj. Bishop Simpson represented tl
Northern ma-se?in taking possession ol pro
e:ty fairly won by conquest, in support ar
defence of Northern religion, as opposed
Southern religion, in the United States, ai
in which Northern religion nearly all of.li
small denominations in tho North agree ai
sympathize, and have an interest, therefoi
in tho property acquired.
The! Methodists of the 'North constitute f
great directing power of religion in Americ
an thc other denominations called Protestan
though differing in form, in ritual, and otb
minor points, yet follow, in substance, the :
ligious course marked out by the great ruli
power, thc Northern Methodists. You m
as well sty thatan army has no right to t
arms and supplies which it wins on the ha
fought field of battle as to say that the Nor!
ern Methodist Church has no right to ev?
church, school-house, and every acre of la
formerly held by the Southern Methodit
Not only so, but it is just as wroDg and p
nicions for Northern Methodists tc
LSorJthern Methodists to meet and wc
all, ns it would be to permit Lee or <
to call together and drill their disbani
ana er arms.
Methodism in the South was conqui
subjugated, and henceforth has no cl
auything ?sed or belonging to its fon
Even their Bibles, books and printin
lishments became the property of the
and ought to be used. Did Spain alic

did any nation or people ever concede
privilege to the one r.bey had to sui
No more, then, ought the North to (
such to the South. But you may say t
Southern Methodists and the Northern
odists are one and thc same in religioi

rect definition of the word.

Now, the Book, called the Bible, is
quoted in support of either side of tho

should interfere to prevent us.

A Brutal Murder by Negroes in Barn
well District.
One of the most brutal murders ever re
corded occurred on Wednesday, the 15th insto
in Barnwell District, which shows that thc
seed of Radicalism, so thickly sown in this
State, . is bearing fruit with a vengeance
We are indebted chiefly lo the Savannah Re
publican for the following particulars :
It appears that on the day mentioned, Mr
J: mes Martin, thc overseer on thc plantation
of William J. Lawton, Esq., near Allandale,
Barnwell District, told-one of the field hands
to go to work and commence ploughing. To
this the negro objected and a difficulty ensu
ed, and the wife of the negro came up, and
by violent language further increased his ire,
and he raised a heavy hoe that he had in his
hand and attempted to strike the overseer on
the head, hut ho managed to evade the blow.
The negro then attempted to strike a second
blow, but the overseer drew a pistol and shot
him in the face, inflicting a slight wound. He
then retired to his house, and for about half |
an hour ail remained quiet.
Thc ucgro, meanwhile, had been among
his fellows, inciting them to violence, and soon
a crowd of them assembled around the over
seer's house. Nearly all the negroes on the
plantation were in the assembly, and the over
seer, seeing that his life was in danger, jump
ed out of a window and ran. Shots were fir
ed after him, one, of which wounded him. Ile
still continuedto run, however, thus wounded
and bleeding, and pursued by the savage
crowd of brutes, now inflamed to a perfect
fury. Alter a chase of about a mile, tbe over
seer reached Ike house of Mrs. Malled, whose
husband was absent at the time. Ile implor
ed her to take him in and shelter him from
the yelling pursuers, who wero seeking his
life, which she did most willingly. Then she
took her stand outside the door, and for more
than an hour held thc murderers at bay, re
sisting all their efforts to effect an entrance,
and refusing to accede to their demand to
give up their victim. They strove to get her
awav, but she struggled nobly," heroically
maintaining her position, aud receiving many
bruises at their hands.
Finding ?hat they could not intimidate this
courageous lady, the foremost of them broke
in the window of the hous?-, and they were
quickly followed by others, and the wounded
man inside soon full a victim to their savage
fury. Shots were fired at him, and eleven
buckshot entered hi* breast. While he lay
upon thc floor, in the agonies of death, negro
women came up and beat him with sticks,
and some ol' the worst among them declared
tfiat they would not leave without a piece of
his flesh to carry home with tbem.
A more brutal or diabolical, murder has per
haps never been .committed, and those who
perpetrated ibo bloody deed, while iu the act
I of executing their horrid purpose, neted moro
like demons let loose from l'audemonium than
anything in thc semblance of humanity. While
engaged in their murderous work they were
frequently be.ird lo cry ont that the Radicals
j would protect them-tlius_showin^ that the i
poor mau rests with those who havu sc?herwn
broadcast through the South the seeds of
bloodshed and disorder.
The murdered man came from Southwes
tern Georgia. He was a good overseer, and
an excellent man in every respect. There
were thirty-one negroes engaged in the affair,
of whom fifteen of the men hate been arrest
ed, and ure now held in confinement.
Growing <-;ld.
I suspect it lakes some time lo arrive at
tho conviction, but. I have como to it. at last,
that lhere are few tilings so disagreeable in
life as growing old. Now, although, a? I
have .said, the knowledge and acceptance of
tbs lac! be the growth of years; yoi some
how the real acknowledgment to one's self al
ways comes with a shock. You boar a Ctr
tain stiffness in your back sinews, and a gn>:r
g ness about your ankle join's for years. You
take io soft hairbrushes, and av-jid draughts
and eschew acid wines, by a process so smooth
and frictionless a< not to be recognized. Voa
exchange your flippant marc, with n ten le:i
cy to shy and a general skittishness, for a
stout cob of fourteen hands, an easy mover,
and quiet lo mount. You accept your dinner
invitations with a more discriminating regard
for the cook than tho company; but you do
*\ these things S J gradually as to be impercepti
ble. It is only when you overhear a cabman
speak ot you as thc " old gent, . but gave his
two bob,"'or when a fresh young lad." asks
what s >rt of dances were in vogue when you
were young, that suddenly a new light breaks
in on you, and an indescribable sense of ter
ror shoots through you attie thought, that yon
have really roupdod tho " Tottenham" cornet
of existence, and have begun the " run home.'
Not that, even then, you fully realize all thc
horrors of the situation. Much is ascribed tc
thc ignorance of the critics; butyou go home
certainly, willi the puzzled sense that theft
is a problem to bc settled, a doubt to be solv
cd, which, until that moment, had never piv
en a passing uneasiness, lt issotnetbing liki
thc parson nad said in the sermon, so start
ling ;:nd sb novel that you cannot rid yoursel
of it, bul keep ou asking'youraelfjisthisafaet
has ho an undoubtedAuthority for telling u
this? Struggle how you may, from that tim
forward you are an altered man. Of coursi
you make no admission to ?ho world at largi
of changed sentiments. Thc law of Englau
declares no man is bound to criminate him
self, and you go about as jauntily-perhap
even a little more jauntily-as of yore; ju?
as a merchant with an approaching banknip
cy turns out in the park with a more show
equipage. Butin the solitude of your ow
dressing-room you know that thc trial,
over, the verdict is given, and all that remr.ii
is to entreat thc Court to suspend judgtnen
" A- long day, my lord-a long day." A pit

NKCUO ROLE.-The following is a pjctui
drawn by a Northern Radical newspaper
tho negro rule in St. Domingo, after they hat
had fifty years of experience as rulers
about thc fairest spot of earth :
The latest news from St. Domingo is th
the country is in. anarchy, and thc prisons a
full. Of course thoro must be some sort
governing force in existence to keep thc pri
ons full ; but this is probably about thc fi
extent of ita powers. It is painful to s
Such a rich and charming pari of the wor
given up to ruin and savagery. It is gricvo
to see the control of such a country in tl
hands of such a people. But we see no he
for it. And we may rest satUfiod that
lhere bc any lower depths of human degrac

GEORGE PEAEOD
Newburyport, Oct. 26,1841.
Sworn to before S?m'l Cutler, Oct. 26,
It appears from the above that Gi
Peabody, in 1841. arrived at manhood,
bis nth that he was possessed of bu
hundred dollars taxable property, whicl
just enough to rzake him a voter; and
had lost one dollar of it the day befo;
would not have been a voter that year,
hundred dollars ! If George Peabody, t
lng from that point, has reached hit pr<
wealth, where is the canse for any young
to despair? Thete are a hundred chi
now for an energetic, capable young i
where there was one in 1841. That wai
time of the last war with Great Bntain, i
little business was doing-so little that i
store on State Street was opened for t
after dark. Wages were very low and
plenty. George Peabody was glad to
less than any man can earn digging cl
now, and what the merest boys now Wi
turn away from. Nor did it cost less to
then than now. Flour, corn, molasses,
many other articles were nearly twice as 1
as to-day. But there were some thing
George Peabody's favor, that are not corni
now. The original copy of this inv
shows that he was a good penman, whir,
rather a rare accomplishment in our day.
Peabody was etlUiiumlmil' jLu'inwe*" |M
mean qualities. He was tall, weir fon
good looking, and dressed with great pr<
ety ; but he saved his money. That |
would put chase a watch, finger-ring, ai
couple nf shirt studs ; or it v^ild last a
days for cigars, liquors, and oysters. I
anybody believe that George Peabody p
to such uses ? How many young men wi
think two hundred dollars a sufficient
to serve a3 a foundation ot a fortune of m
millions? How many would waste it j
ishly, and complain* afterwards of their
luck in the world, and that there was
chance for a young man to do anything
these days ? Geo. Peabody knew how to r
write, and keep accounts-qualifications
his place as a clerk-thought something <
those days, and a great deal neglected i
when infants want to jump into manh
and young men lack the patience for slow
cumulation. He was gentlemanly, saving
dustrious, enterprising, self-reliant, and
telligent ; and such a young man seldom f
He did not scorn to work : he was no
hour man if duty demanded an extensio
time; he didn't lean on any body else ;
he had in him that very day what has t
developing ever since. We ask all the 1
who may read this paragraph, to look

Peabody now, and ask themselves what
advantage he had that they have not.
TUE DEMOCRATS or RICHLAND held an

following resolutions, amongst othere, v>
unanimously adopted :
Rciolved, That the colored people throu
out the District, favorable to the party, be
vi;ed, as a mode of action more agreeable
themselves, to form co-operative Democn
clubs, which clubs shall form and make
the central organization of the District.
Resolved, That the colored people v
have attached their political fortunes to oi
are entitled to our patronage and suppl
and shall receive it; and that this patroni
and support will not be withheld from th
colored persons who may now come forwi
and ask to be enrolled, amongst the faith
in the Democratic ranks.
, Resolved, That those colored perse
wu., have voted to put upon the white u
aud the colored mau of this State, an ig
! minious Constitution, ruinous a like to thi
[ aud especially so to us, have f jrfeited rai
I nf their claims to our sympathy and aid,. I
f that the policy of declining to give work
r those persons, and especially to their lead?
will be steadily ai d firmly carried out by <
? fellow-citizens-due regard being had to
moral and legal obligations of existing c
1 tracts, and each citizen being at liberty

Nor hearken to a false report,
By malice whispered round.
Who vice, iu all its pomp and power,
Can treat with just neglect;
And piety, though clothed in rags,
Beligiously respect
Who to his plighted word and trust
Has ever firmly stood ;
And though he promise to his loss,
He makes his promise good.
Whose soul in usury disdains
His treasure to emply ;
Whom no reward can ever bribe
The guiltless to destroy.
A Story from Paris.
A Paris letter tells the following story of a
Twelfth Night fete in that city:
A wealthy family in the aristocratic Jjoule .
vard Maleshcrbes were amusing themselves
in seeking the King's portion, or the ring in
the festival cake, when a lady of the compa
ay says to the hostess.
" I wish my portion to be given to the
poorest little boy wo can find in the street."
The servant was dispatched on the freezing
night, and not far from the house he found a
ragged urchin, trembling with cold and hun
ger. He brought him up, waa ordered into
the saloon, where a thousand lights glittered,
and a sparkling fire gladdened and surprised
him. He drew his portion, which the benev ?
ale at lady had promised, and as lack would
bare it, the little fellow found the "ring"
[beans they use in Paris instead) and of
Muree, he waa "King." They all shouted
sut, that being a King, he must choose a
jueen. He was asked so to do, and, looking
round the company, he chose the very lady
who had proposed to cede her portion of the
?ke. He was asked why he chose her. He
said:
"I don't know! she looks the most like
mother."
"Mother! whose mother?"
" My mother ! I never saw her, but was
stolen away from her, and here is her por
trait.? * .
With this he drew from out his ragged
2oat, a likeness, which proved to be that of
tho lady herself, who, in Italy, had her child
stolen from her, and now he turns up a poor
little ragged Savoyard, dragging along a
miserable existence in Paris, while his moth
er, by an intuition, perhaps felt that in tho
air near to where she was, was one so dear
Lo her.
Expressive of Our Sentiments on the
Subject.
G. Washington Bricks, of the Louisville
.^ETgLtnte Ps?, the following, to which we
staple or fancy'dry goofy that I absoluteiT
adore it is a white petticoat-a very ? yrmiZ
one of course ; and if there is anything in the
same line that I absolutely do not adore, but
" so far from it on the contrary, quite the re
verse," it is a colored one. I have always
thought that a snowy petticoat and a pair of
snowy stockings, with a pretty girl concealed
in them, possess more gilded and sugar-coat
ed enchantment for the refined and poetic
soul than any other objects upon which the
sun Bhines, or has ever 6hone. Of course this
presupposes a pretty foot and ankle with
gaiter boots-not slippers-to match. Not
ono in a thousand of heaven's last, best gift,
can, in the presence of artistic or critical taste,
wear slippers with any degree of safety. The
foot and ankle must be the perfection of sym
metrical beauty, or the slipper is a nuisance
which should be abated, if it cannot be done
otherwise, by legislative enactment When
my appetite is unimpaired, I can take a drink
of well advertised bitters-not such as every
vagrant plank fence and vagabond wall, con
stantly call upon me to '/try"-and - enjoy a
good dinner very comfortably upon a colored
table cloth ; but if I were to marry the love
liest of girls, and should detect her in the act
of wearing a colored petticoat, there is not
the slightest doubt, especially if wo happened
to be living in Chicago, that we would find
ourselves involved in a divorce suit before we
were ton years older. A girl who is habitu
ally addieted to the habit of wearing a thing
ofthat sort, would, on goingto house-keeping
have all her plates and cups and saucers of a
copperas color to hide dirt. No ; as I Lave
already intimated, I would'nt give a canceled
two-cent postage stamp for netter grounds
for a divorce, if I were in want of tuch
grounds, than the introduction into my family
of a colored petticoatan? a pair of blue, gray,
or lead colored stockings. They are a part
of a young lady's wearing apparel which nei
ther pods nor men are said to permit, and
girls should bo educated to know it. There
is not a more beautiful accomplishment, when
it is once kcown.
THE BANKRUPT "LAV.."-NO true Demo
crat, or friend to Washington's government,
of whatever par ty name, seriously believes
that the so-called Congress of the United
States, with ten States excluded for party
purposes, can pass any law that will bear the
test of constitutionality before any proper
court that is not in the interests of tho Mon
grels, and will not make their decisions " out
side of the Constitution nor will such de
cisions be submitted to by the people, if they
aro made by any such a party cocrt on the
bankrupt or any other question that is not
constitutional. Yet thousands of men are
" taking the benefit of the bankrupt law" all
over the land, and paying out thousands of
dollars in greenbacks to the lawyers and oth
er officers for playing out such a " legal" farce
for them, that in the end will not protect
them a particle from their debts. Verily, all
the fools and rascals are not dead yet. I do
not mean to say that all are rascals who are
attempting to take the benefit of the bank
rupt " law," though large numbers doubtless
are such ; but I do say that all of .them had
better wait until a constitutional Congress
passes a bankrupt law, that can bear the test
of constitutionality, before they spend their
money to lawyers and others to take it If
they do not, they will have it all to do over
again at no distant day.-Cor. New York Day
Book.
